GMKtec × AMD: Seven Years of AI Innovation, from EVO-X2 to EVO-X3

On May 19, 2026, at AMD AI Developer Day in Shanghai, the atmosphere was electric. At the GMKtec booth, Dr. Lisa Su personally stopped to sign the EVO-X2 and EVO-X3 desktop AI supercomputers — another milestone in the growing partnership between GMKtec and AMD. For seven years, GMKtec has remained focused on the Mini PC industry, continuously pushing the limits of compact computing with a commitment to combining extreme performance with portability. From the launch of the EVO-X2 powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ platform, to public recognition at CES by Lisa Su, and now the official debut of EVO-X3, GMKtec has rapidly evolved from a hardware innovator into an active contributor to the global AI ecosystem. 2025: EVO-X2 Redefined Desktop AI Computing In 2025, GMKtec introduced the EVO-X2 — the world’s first desktop AI supercomputer powered by the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 processor. The launch immediately challenged traditional expectations of what a Mini PC could achieve. Key Highlights of EVO-X2 ●  AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 processor ●  16 cores / 32 threads based on Zen 5 architecture ●  Advanced 4nm process technology with boost frequencies up to 5.1GHz ●  Combined CPU, GPU, and NPU heterogeneous AI performance reaching 126 TOPS ●  Up to 128GB LPDDR5X memory with as much as 96GB dynamically allocated VRAM ●  Smooth local deployment of large AI models including Qwen3 235B and Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large ●  Compact workstation-class design for local AI development, inference, and fine-tuning right out of the box With powerful AI performance packed into a compact chassis, EVO-X2 quickly became a favorite among developers, AI studios, creators, and tech enthusiasts. Its success also brought GMKtec into AMD’s global AI ecosystem spotlight. Shortly after launch, Lisa Su personally signed the EVO-X2 — a recognition of GMKtec’s innovation in edge AI computing. CES 2026: GMKtec EVO-X2 Spotlighted in Lisa Su’s Keynote on the Global Stage At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, AMD presented its “AI-Native” vision for the future of computing. GMKtec’s EVO-X2 was showcased in AMD’s core exhibition area as a leading desktop AI supercomputer platform and even appeared on the keynote presentation backdrop during Lisa Su’s speech. During the keynote, Lisa Su highlighted the rise of edge AI computing and next-generation local AI workloads. EVO-X2 stood out with its ability to run large AI models locally while maintaining impressive power efficiency — proving that compact AI systems can deliver workstation-level capabilities. The appearance marked an important moment not only for GMKtec, but also for Chinese AI hardware brands on the global stage. AMD AI Developer Day 2026: EVO-X3 Makes Its Official Debut At AMD AI Developer Day Shanghai 2026, GMKtec unveiled its next-generation flagship desktop AI supercomputer: EVO-X3. Displayed alongside EVO-X2, both systems received personal signatures from Lisa Su, drawing significant attention from developers, media, and AI industry professionals. EVO-X3 Key Upgrades ●  Powered by the AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 flagship platform ●  Native OCuLink support for external GPU expansion ●  128GB LPDDR5X-8000 high-speed memory for smoother multi-model workloads ●  Integrated Longsys AI storage solution for improved I/O efficiency ●  Dual PCIe 4.0 SSD slots, WiFi 7, and USB4 for next-generation connectivity ●  Deep ROCm ecosystem optimization with out-of-box support for tools like HelloROCm ●  Preinstalled GMKtec Claw software for simplified AI deployment and development workflows At the event, GMKtec engineers worked closely with AMD engineers and developers to demonstrate EVO-X3’s real-world performance in local AI training, AI agent deployment, and multi-model inference scenarios. The system attracted strong interest from developers looking for high-performance local AI solutions without relying on cloud infrastructure. Building an Open AI Ecosystem Together During the event, Lisa Su emphasized a simple but powerful message “Openness matters more than everything.” That philosophy has become a core value shared by both GMKtec and AMD. Over the past year, GMKtec has continued collaborating closely with AMD to expand the local AI ecosystem — supporting developers, creators, startups, research labs, and educational institutions through accessible high-performance AI hardware. From a single Mini PC to a complete desktop AI supercomputing solution, GMKtec’s journey reflects a broader mission: making AI computing more open, more powerful, and more accessible. From Performance to Ecosystem One year ago, EVO-X2 showcased the true potential of AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ platform. Today, EVO-X3 pushes local AI supercomputing into its next generation. From CES Las Vegas to AMD AI Developer Day Shanghai, the collaboration between GMKtec and AMD continues to grow stronger. Looking ahead, GMKtec will continue building powerful AI hardware deeply integrated with the AMD ecosystem — enabling developers, teams, creators, and research institutions around the world to access high-performance local AI computing with ease. What Lisa Su witnessed was not only the evolution of several products, but also the rise of a Chinese technology brand steadily earning its place on the global AI stage.
